Note that until Cameron’s own return, “Titanic” b.o. heights appeared unsurmountable – “Shrek” and “Dark Knight” notwithstanding.

“Avatar” is a “event” film. Similar event films in 3D should generate enough b.o. to justify their development and marketing costs, but to apply the technology across the board to all film genres is very unlikely – unless there is a similar Federal mandate to that of HD.

In which case, start investing in the raw materials of the cosmetic industry and/or open a plastic surgery practice in southern California….
